It's possible she has more going on than depression.. Bipolar and some personality disorders can cause/explain the anger she is having. Just a thought.
No one here is a Doctor and cant diagnose of course.
Regardless, she has to want to get better, having a mental illness isn't an excuse to treat others terrible.

She is in treatment, and she has been for some time (over 2 years now). However it just hasn't improved all that much, and other factors (unemployment, some rough patches with her own family, other heath issues) haven't helped to get her levels up. Sometimes i do wonder if there's any other kind of disorder, but put it simply, it is not something i can suggest. She is extremely touchy in what regards her condition, were i to suggest something else - other than / worse than depression, she would resent me horribly. In her head, i know she's not "treating anyone badly". She's just acting the same way she feels she's being treated. The thing is, she feels like she's being mistreated / ignored / insulted / etc all the time. And saying otherwise just makes her sadder / more angry, which in turn leads to her being more aggressive.
